Hi, basically this model only works as a midi controller, you either connect your sound module, laptop, iPad ... What I do is connect it to a keyboard synth, with a midi air by Maudio, which is completely wireless, then straight to an amp, any further question, just let me know

The vortex does not produce any sound on its own. The Vortex sends messages to another device (another keyboard, rack mount device) that produces sound. The messages are sent via the MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) standard. So you do not hook up the Vortex to an amp. You hook up the Vortex to a devices that produces sound (digital piano for example) and THAT device is hookup up to an amp. think of the Vortex as a remote keyboard for another device, not as a sound producing device itself. Hope this helps.

No, because it only a midi controller. If you using a laptop with sound then yes

The Vortex is only a Midi controller and not a full synth, so no. You can, however, hook another synth up to an amp and, with a midi to midi cable, control the stationary synth with the Vortex. You can also control software synths through a computer (that can be hooked in to an amp via 1/4 to 1/8 jack) with the Vortex.

Not directly. It is a midi only device and makes no sounds on its own. You must use a midi cable to plug it into a sound module or midi interface on a computer. After that then you could take the output of the sound module or interface and plug that into an amp.

Not really. It doesn't have any sounds on its own. You can use MIDI to hook up the Vortex to another keyboard, and hook that keyboard up to an amp.

Its a midi controller, so no. You would have to hook it up to a computer, and hook tjat up to an amp.

The other answers are correct; the Vortex is a midi controller and doesn't have sounds of its own. The only thing I would add is that, in addition to another keyboard or a laptop, you can plug the Vortex into any midi sound generating device, such as a sound module, then plug the device into an amp.

It has no on board sound generation, must be used in conjugation with a computer with virtual synth software or to control a keyboard or tone generator with MIDI or USB
36394
It is a midi controller must be connected to a computer with music software , or sound module , as this keytar has no sound banks

Alesis Vortex is a MIDI controller, the sounds are played through a laptop, then use an audio interface could then take a cable and connect to an amplifier, sounds depend on a laptop, Greetings from Venezuela.

There are outs for midi, usb and a sustain pedal so you can hook it up with adapters, but it's not a straight through 1/4 cord to amp connection. Check out the slesis website for videos and details.

you would need an amp and connect the speaker wire from the amp to the speakers

it can if you wire it right. you can power it of a pro audio amp if you have one of those but if not then you could wire it off a car amp but car amps only run on 12v DC so you would have to wire the amp up to a old computer PSU or a large battery or get one of those 12v adapters for your house but then wire a 12v plug to the amp which is not as hard as it sounds

Yes but unit is not powerd you'll need an amplifer or thy make one that has amp built in

Not without going through some sort of preamp/amplipher or receiver first. It is not a stand alone unit.

You do not need an amp with this device. It sounds great. It has forward and rear firing speakers.

Dont see why not. Does your amp have a usb port and rca aux jack? If so i reckon you should be ok. Give their helpdesk a call if you want to be 100% sure i guess. Cheers mate.

Yes, you can, and you can hook it up with any audio device, but don't use it as a real powerful amplifier. I use it for my basement treadmill, and I have had it for 4 years, no problem.

No, this is not an amp. It outputs line-level only for an aux input on a receiver, could probably drive little computer speakers that have amps in them, too.

No absolutely not. Not even sure how you would do that. First off, This amp is not that good. No where near its rated power.

Yes, I have hooked mine up to an amp. foot pedals are kinda cheap. high hat is kinda cheesy as well. overall it's a pretty decent unit for what it is.
1618842
Don't think so. Need some kind of powered speaker. You can use an old stereo amp.
847798
Yes, you would just wire a cord and plug to the rated amp. Mount box to the side or above outlet and wire cord in device and plug it in.

Yes, you can hook a guitar amp via 1/4 plug and Speakers via 1/8 plug. http://line6.com/sonicport/
